WHEW. KAY. SO.

This is for *kaleadora. What can I say? She is a really really awesome person and I am kicking myself for not talking with her more before now.

This is her character Mathari, who I DEMAND to have more in the way of story goes. Because she is pimp. She radiates pimp. So she was SUPER easy to draw. And FUN. Cause I love hard ass characters.

When I started working on this, the theme from Reign: The Conquerer just ran through my head. You can hear the song here: [link] and try to ignore the bad anime clips. <3

Technical stuff: I used a lot of different stuff cause I didn't want to use the same markers over and over. So watercolor pencils were used for her skin. It didn't really get as dark as I'd thought but that's kinda good, as it woulda just run into her clothing. It was fairly difficult to decide on colors, Steph said she mainly wears black and silver. So finding colors to go together while not using the same/near the same marker was kinda tough. I SUCCEED THOUGH.

Also: her armband/ tummy danglies are done in silver gel pen. So they are really SILVER looking, you just can't tell.

On that note: I am SO freakin happy with how this turned out. Everyone at work has been seeing me work on it for the past week or so. They'll be happy to see it done too.

I'd love to send you the originals as well, Steph. For this one and the other kitsune one. So when you get back send me's an addy and I'll hook you up.

Oh my...I just...abardj...WOAH. I don't...even know what to say, except YES. She is incredible, and I got up extra early just so I could see her before we leave and I'm so glad I did because this is the best thing ever. She's awesome and fierce and just a total BAMF, which is just how I picture her. I love how she's all belligerent and "COME GET SOME" and yet she has these tiny delicate feet, that's a great touch and will be incorporated into my story. And the outfit! Asymmetrical greatness! It's totally something she would wear, sorta like daring someone to object. Preeeetty folds on her leggings, and I love her armband, and ohmygosh that sword is so perfect. And her HAIR. It's all thick and drapey and gorgeous, which is exactly right. I LOVE HER Jenna you rock! And I'm noting you my address right now. :heart::heart::heart:!
